CodeLite IDE

Im using codelite v2.8.0.4537 (not self built) under Ubuntu and am trying to launch a runnable file that was compiled with g++ and built with debugging information. I open 'Quick Debugging', specify my executable and then specify the working directory to be the same directory that the executable is in. When I try to run it, the executable fails because it cannot load a required .so that happens to be in the same directory. I noticed in the logging window that it says:

Current working dir: /home/puser/.codelite/jsdk

...despite me having specified the working directory in the Quick Debugging window. Any ideas how to fix the issue that the working dir isnt properly being set? I know the .so and executable are built correctly because running with the same settings in eclipse runs the program and imports all of the symbols properly.

The full debug log is:

This is the *current* working directory before launching gdb

This is the 'Working directory' you set in the quick debug window

And this is the executable that you are debugging.

This is Linux not Windows... unless you set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH it does not search for shared libraries under the same path of the executable.

Add this line: To 'Settings | Environment variables...' use the 'Default' set (unless you are using a different environment variables set)

And use the 'Quick Debug' again

(I tried it here and it is working as it should - using codelite trunk build)
